* vcs: invoke the vt update callback when /dev/vcs* is written toNicolas Pitre2010-10-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | A notifier chain is called whenever the vt code modifies a terminal content, except for one case which is when the modification comes through writes to /dev/vcs* devices. Let's add the missing notifier invocation at the end of vcs_write() for that case too.

* vt: Fix console corruption on driver hand-over.Francisco Jerez2010-09-041-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After 02f0777a0d6560eb995aade34a1b82f95c0452da "vc_origin" is no longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook of the new console driver. If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit() on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage. It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin" points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init(). This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").

* vt,console,kdb: preserve console_blanked while in kdbJason Wessel2010-08-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b45cfba4e9005d64d419718e7ff7f7cab44c1994 (vt,console,kdb: implement atomic console enter/leave functions) introduced the ability to atomically change the console mode with kernel mode setting but did not preserve the state of the console_blanked variable. The console_blanked variable must be restored when executing the con_debug_leave() or further kernel mode set changes (such as using chvt X) will fail to correctly set the state of console.

* vt/console: try harder to print output when panicingJesse Barnes2010-08-101-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jesse's initial patch commit said: "At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since some drivers are capable of flipping back to it. So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a panic context." I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

* Revert "tty: fix a little bug in scrup, vt.c"Linus Torvalds2010-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 962400e8fd29981a7b166e463dd143b6ac6a3e76, which was entirely bogus. The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'. So the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into account. Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols" shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up multiplying with the VGA character size twice. This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern (usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space) into some random other allocation. So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser it looked like a problem with KMS or libata. Jeff Chua saw it in different places. And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a slab poison overwritten. And bisected and reverted this to verify the buggy commit.

* vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() functionBernhard Walle2009-12-151-6/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to redirect the kernel messages to a specific console. However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic message on the current console. This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect variable by a function to be able to use it in code where CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c). This patch: Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where messages are printed. Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c) to the new interface. The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

* console: make blank timeout value a boot optionDaniel Mack2009-06-171-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the console again. Especially during development, disabling the screen saver can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at runtime from userspace. This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0. The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m1.142s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.540s If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m0.152s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.072s Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_ttyJoe Peterson2009-01-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C) and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline. Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately written to the tty driver. The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output, since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written. Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks. Highlights are: * Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full - continuous program output can block echo * Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S) - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output) * Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not split up by interleaved program output * Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to the tty driver * Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson <joe@skyrush.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* console ASCII glyph 1:1 mappingIngo Brueckl2008-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found in the current font. This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

* vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stopWolfgang Kroworsch2008-11-071-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem 1 (see patch below): vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h . In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than 160 columns text. Problem 2 (open): Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator calculations: if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31))) break; Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Kroworsch <wolfgang@kroworsch.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox2008-10-131-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe. Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown method is tied into the refcounting. Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic. Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree free up paths.
